      He defo isnt. Hikaru is not at all stockfish. He plays/gets into positions that are attacking, and hence very double edged, and he often makes tons of mistakes, but his opponents make even more. For example, mvl had mate twice against hikaru in one of the blitz games, and it was so simple, he literally just had to make the easiest check on the board. But he didnt, and it ended up being a draw.
